Collective Investment Trusts

What is a Collective Investment Trust (CIT)?

Collective Investment Trusts (CITs) are pooled retirement investment vehicles that are available only to qualified retirement plans, such as 401(k) defined contribution plans and governmental plans.
Consists solely of assets of retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock bonus or other tax-qualified retirement accounts and governmental plans that are exempt from federal income tax.
CITs are institutional products that are sold only to plan sponsors and/or plan fiduciaries for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries.
Relative to mutual funds, CITs are generally considered to be low cost. CITs are maintained or sponsored by a bank or trust company (Trustee) under the purview of the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) or a state banking regulator.

Collective Investment Trusts (CITs) are available only to qualified retirement plans, such as 401(k) defined contribution plans and governmental plans.
